  1. What do ER's hire more: PA-C, FNP or ACNP ?

    treejay posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all. I am at the pinnacle of a very important decision that needs to be made by this upcoming Friday. I am hoping folks on here can help. I have been accepted to a great PA program and a great...

  2. Explaining the NP role to pts and everybody else

    treejay replied to npstudent22's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I see this posted time and time again... And I will say it again. It isn't true anymore. The large number of direct entry NP programs have made this blanket statement not truthful. It is true for a...

  5. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    treejay replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yeah this is too bad in my opinion, because the NP profession really had a chance to fix some of the problems with current NP programs such as limited clinical

  6. Most Rigorous NP Programs (worried about NP Curriculum)!

    treejay replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    All things being equal, I do believe PA school has a much more rigorous training based in more hard sciences and many more clinical hours. This is virtually undebatable. All NP preceptors I have...

  7. MD versus NP as a primary care provider

    treejay replied to icelind's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One more comment about the title NPP vs APC. Non-physician providers defines us what we aren't. Advanced Practice Clinician defines us by what we are. I dunno. To me, it seems the latter is the...

  8. MD versus NP as a primary care provider

    treejay replied to icelind's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just a few comments on the notion that APCs have more time. I think it's a myth in many cases. The only reason why an APC would have more time, is if they're seeing fewer patients. And if one isn't...

  15. Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    treejay replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know if I agree that it's a real shame. How it's setup by the accrediting agency, PA programs are competency based, not degree based. Graduates of any PA program, associates or master's need...

  24. Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    treejay replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
